Too many to pick just one. But the one for the moment is "Through Glass" by Stone Sour

If you are like most of us you will want different (more) guitars as you play more. There is nothing wrong with holding on to both the SG's or even all three guitars. The difference in the SG's may be finish, or even electronics. You may not hear a difference in the SG pickup's but one who has a better trained ear might. The neck radius may be thicker on one or the fretboard on one may be ebony instead of rosewood. As you find out the differences you may decide, after you have sold one or the other, that you should have kept them both. And the Kramer.

I would hold on to all three of those guitars and enjoy them. Along with that Deville amp.

Thankyou for that suggestion! Well the votes seem to b unaminous, ill hold on to all for now.Wait till I have a better view on things b4 I make any decision..if any. One thing I can say about hearing a difference, I hear a big difference between the cheapie amps I had in the past, and the "Deville", wich is tubbed. I heard of them being superior, but now I know!

Good choice.  keep them all. They only gain value.  I had a Kramer Striker 600. It was the first guitar I bought over 100 bucks.  (in the 80s it was about 375, which in todays market, maybe closer to a 5 to 700 ax).  I had to pawn it to survive.  I have missed it ever since.  Can you post a picture of it or did you find out model and value on it also?  If it has HSS and a 5 way switch or the 3 toggels, you can play ANY style of music you want.  It was a very versital guitar.  Yes I played metal with it, but also Doobie Brothers and Bryan adams.   All your guitars will play anything you ask them to. Just set up your amp for the sound you need.  NOW chordie ruels,, You had a NGD X3 (NGD= New Guitar Day) so you must post pics.  If you need help, someone here can do it for you.  I hope you stay with us for your journey.  This is one of the best places to take the ride!

(not to mention the singer and lead guitar are a triumph buddy of mine)

Welcome to Chordie, Sharkin ...

"The Sounds of Silence" by Simon & Garfunkel is normally written in Dm, but if you use the Chordie transposer to take it down 3 semitones, it comes out in a more comfortable singing key.

Hey THANKS FOR THE TIP I have been working on this song in standard, but after seeing this, I looked at it and im going to work it this way tonight! lol

Barr chords are the way to go.  If you have a electric, learnthem on it first. then the transition to acoustic will be easier. (and there is a whole long topic on that method {weather to learn on acoustic or electric first, opinions vary widely} around here also LOL.

Keep at it.

Holly Crap, could you rubb my shoulders??? I need some luck like that.  Are you sure the SG's are gibsons? if so just call the factory info line and give serial #'s.   but for general checking use the internet. www.musiciansfriend.com or guitar center (both owned by the same corp)  The black Kramer, I need a modle. it should say on the head stock by the tuners.  Kramers are some shred guitars! (as are the SG's) Depending on the make of it.  you can look the amp up also.

the amp is going to really be determined by if its an original or reissue and what model there is a wide price spread there.
basic new SG standard 1,200

Gibson SG, Special depending on model once again, 5 to 700.

One of my customers was talking about this a few weeks ago and I think that, with the right software, GuitarPro formatted songs convert tabs in to audible music to follow. I may be wrong but I also think that Guitar Pro and the songs for it have to be purchased.

I guess that ANHWIN forgot to look at our name; Chordie indicates chords.

I think your customers are talking about songster.    http://www.songsterr.com/   
You do have to pay for full feature, but you can get a lot of help with the online stuff also.

As to ANHWIN, I am going to go with the positive assumption that there may be a language gap going on,,,, for now. smile

All I GOT TO SAY IS COVER IT WITH SUPER GLUE!!!

NO kidding! it works. if the cut has stopped bleeding clean up with alcohol and put light layers of the stuff on it.   Hey if its good enough for SRV and FLEA (Red hot chilie pepers) Then its good for me.  I always keep it around the garage and in my tool bag on the bike.

DE, aside form the types of you music you described for your self, them newest tag for it is Americana.

I'm guessing that the term "Americana" has been around at least 15 years or more and you're probably right in using that description beamer. as I've had other folks also describe my music style as "Americana". When recording my songs I try to stay away from slick productions and digital enhancements, just using a minimalist approach  - what I refer to a my "creek bank" style.

From your posts you seem to be at the metal or heavy rock end of the spectrum.  Do you write/record any songs?  I have a good friend in Michigan who is still a rocker in his late 50's and writes/records songs and occasionally sends me a copy.  His lyrics are based in the tradition of urban coffee house poetry and sometimes leave me scratching my head as to what he is trying to say.  My lyrics tend to follow the Appalachian story-telling tradition and probably seem too simple to him.  Its all good - just different strokes, etc .......

There is always some string noise. Does it happen if someone else plays same guitar? If not then Im tending to lean towards your technique.  Maybe find someone you know who plays and show them what your talking about.  They may have a helpfull hint. Its hard to tell w/out actually seeing how your playing when it happens.  If you have skype or facebook we could do a vidio feed and I would be willing to see what your doing.  We jsut have to corralate the time diff.

Several years ago I posted asking for the names of some acoustic guitar effect boxes, pedals etc. I got a lot of responses, thanks. But silly me I can't find them now. Some help, again, would be appriciated

Here is a link for ya.

Too be honest I run my acoustic through a digitech RP250 or my sons RP70.  The 250 is no longer made but the next one up is the 255.  I like the RP250 {and any higher model} because you can interface it with your computer and spend all day creating new patches.  The site also has a user's area for each model and you can download a whole zip of patches other pple have made and put in the grab bag. (Just last sunday the 17th, I was playing my 12 string ovation through the rp70 for a skype jam)
http://www.digitech.com/en-US/products/rp255
http://www.digitech.com/soundcomm/guita … ductid=226
http://www.digitech.com/soundcomm/guita … ductid=255
Really the only difference I can tell is that the 255 has a Sitar patch and a looper (nice add on)
You can probably find one or a different brand of multi processor used on flea bay or Craigs list. Just make sure the power supply is with them.  Regular stomp boxes work good also.   For any guitar a EQ box is one of the best tools, then a Compressor, delay and a chorus and reverb. So if you want to expirment there are a few sets by by Berhinger: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/6 … Pedal.html and you can also look at the individual stomps by them and Danelectro. All very well priced.  http://www.musiciansfriend.com/effects- … &Ns=bS  that link is for stomps between 25 and 50 bucks.  I have found lots of great stomps in Craigs list though.  Guitar centers have a used case, and there are good deals there also.  Hope this helps, PM me if you want any more info.

A few of mine have also been mentioned but ill say them anyhow. And I’ll try to be chronological.
I also am a Star Trek guy.  Since I was born when they were not re-runs, I love all the original TV/ and all the Movies along with TNG movies. The crossover movie with Picard and Kirk was great! The New one W/ JJ Abrams.  Waiting for the 2nd one!
James Bond!! Proud owner of the official Box set of DVD’s + the only Unauthorized movie (Never say Never again) the new Casino Royal, Quantum of solace, and waiting for price to come down on Skyfall. (Though I did burn it to my computer if that counts). And a dvd called gadgets of bond.
Clint east wood westerns and Harry Callahan movies. (along with his independent movies)
Best line from Grand Torino “Ever notice how you come across somebody once in a while you shouldn't have (edit) messed with? That's me”
Just about all Mel Gibson movies: Mad Maxx series, Lethal Weapon series, Braveheart,  The Patriot, WE WERE SOLIDIERS freaking awesome.
Add in best 3 Vietnam movies after We were Soldiers: Platoon, Apocalypse Now, and full Metal jacket.
Bat-Man (all of them no matter who.)
XXX with Vin Diesel
Iron man / Avengers
Serenity and although TV, FireFly Best ever series that Fox never “got”.
